Bird Walk for All People - Thursday, August 27th, 2015

Throughout the walk, we had a constant movement of Bobolinks "binking" overhead. On Bunker Pond, we found a Great Blue Heron, numerous Mute Swans with one Black Swan sleeping in their midst, and a few Mallards. We saw a mixture of Barn and Tree Swallows with one Bank in the group and a couple of late Purple Martins. Terns included a Caspian and a few Royals. American Redstarts were everywhere with a few Yellow Warbler fly-overs and one Black-and-White Warbler. We also saw a couple of early Broad-winged Hawks. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Chris Marks, and Karl Lukens.
